MightyFruit Trucking Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Checked with Bibeau and the recommend I get Bibeau BFL-S for the type of primary work I do here in ohio. They said that the beds hold up well the floor is just a little thiner 3/16 opposed to 1/4 on the BMT model and it weights 1000 pounds less. The high lift gate will run $1,600 more for that option.

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Bibeau,Beaurock and Brandon are all similar bodies as I was told Beaurock and Brandon are spinoffs from Bibeau.Different family members spun them off. I have Brandon hi-tensile with 3/16" floor and 1/8" sides it works well with rip rap and table tops(concrete cut offs). I ordered the 1/4" gate I would not do again because of extra weight. If you order the hi-lift gate it is definitely not necessary. A feature Bibeau has is on gate hinges they have a triangle piece of metal to keep gate lined up if any wear in pins. Joe D.

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When I said I ordered the 1/4" gate I want to say that the heavier gate is not necessary with the hi-lift gate as when lifted nothing will hit it.
